Title: An Assessment of the Vertebrate Ecology of the Tofino Creek Watershed, Vancouver Island, BC

Year: 1994

Author(s): Todd E. Manning, Branta Educational Consultants

Type: Report (unpublished)

Description:"A one year research project was conducted in the Tofino Creek watershed on western Vancouver Island, British Columbia, during the spring and summer of 1992. The major objectives of this study were to determine the presence and absence of mammals, birds, and amphibians found in different coastal western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and mountain hemlock (T. mertensiana) habitats in the watershed, and to compare the relative abundance of forest birds living in these habitats. Specific surveys were conducted for forest spring breeding birds, salamanders, small mammals, owls, and Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus). Fifty-two species of birds were detected in eight habitat types throughout the valley between May and July, 1992.

Title: The Odonoata of the Clayoquot River System, Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Year: 1994

Author(s): Janna Smit; Volker Homes

Type: Report (unpublished)

Description:This is a study on mayflies and dragonflies at Clayoquot Lake and the Clayoquot River System on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The Odonata on the outer west coast of British Columbia is little known. Especially for the middle and north part of Vancouver Island there are few records dealing with this order of insects. The data were collected from August 2 to August 23, 1994 in the Clayoquot Sound area, reachable only by floatplane. Adult mayflies and dragonflies and their exuviae were collected in different habitats and identified and ecological observations on these species were added. This study is a part of a long-term ecosystem research program in the Clayoquot Valley founded by the Clayoquot Biosphere Project.

Description:From early October 1992 to early May 1993, an aquatic biophysical assessment was conducted in the Ash River drainage, downstream of B.C. Hydro's hydroelectric storage/diversion facilities at Elsie Lake. The objectives of the study were to document 1)existing fish habitat values and use by anadromous and resident fish species, 2) limitation and-or benefits to fish production from the Elsie Lake hydroelectric facilities or operations, and 3) options to mitigate impacts, if warrented. 186p.
